Can we boot and install from the Live USB created by LiLi? I'm out of CD'R disks.

**lcapriotti** · 2011-01-07 23:09

yes you can

Awesome, thanks. I've been downloading XBMC Live for almost 4 hours now and only getting 25KB/s. Is it supposed to be going this slowly?

well then, maybe the iso you downloaded really is corrupted. try to download again.

michael7oliver · 2011-01-09 00:24

I had been using the "automatic downloader" but this time I used the live disk I'd created a few days ago and it worked no worries. Cheers Hannes.

Hannes The Hun · 2011-01-09 00:25

maybe luigi could forward to the lili creators that the autodownload may be broken. glad it worked out for you now.

Superorb · 2011-01-09 19:33

I found out that my old school pentium 3 from 10-15 years ago will boot from a USB key when my 5 year old Core2duo will not. Ridiculous.

krijeck · 2011-01-09 22:06

please help me out ... each time I build a live USB stick (either with LiLi or unetbootin) I have the same problem. The Stick does not start XBMC live but the linux install script!! and with LiLi the old XBMC installation comes up or "grub>" What is wrong here? any suggestions? sorry if this post is maybe in the wrong thread but this one seemed for be as the most appropriate. and I am already slightly desperate ...
thanks

eit: Ok Problem solved with newer version of unetbootin and liLi
